A 0% carbonated mocktail built around lime juice from concentrate and mint flavouring, lightly sweetened with sugar syrups and artificial sweeteners. £1 a can at Sainsbury's.

About This Drink

Sainsbury's own-label mocktail range plays it simple: these are sparkling soft drinks dressed up in cocktail clothing, not ambitious alcohol-free replicas. The Mojito is a carbonated lime and mint drink with a modest 5% lime juice from concentrate, supplemented by invert sugar syrup and a combination of sucralose and acesulfame K to keep the sweetness in check. At 18 calories per 100ml it's one of the lighter options in the mocktail can format. The mint is supplied via flavouring rather than anything botanical, so don't expect the herby freshness of a properly muddled mojito. What you do get is a reasonably crisp, fizzy lime drink with a recognisable mojito shape: cool and green-tinged in flavour, sweet without being cloying. Alcohol Change UK gave it 4 out of 5, which seems about right for what it is. For a quid a can, it does the job at a BBQ or family gathering. Not a substitute for the real thing, but that's not really what it's trying to be.
